For Tropicana Gardens, it is a Transit Oriented Development (“TOD”) that is linked through a pedestrian bridge to the Surian Mass Rail Transit (“MRT”) Station (approx. 200m away), the gateway to Tropicana Indah and Kota Damansara, plus a bus station situated within walking distance of about 150m away. As the development has a very high tra c flow, the use of public transportation in this area is highly encouraged to minimize carbon impact. We worked closely with Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (“MRTCorp”) and contributed RM 2.8 mil to build a direct link from the Surian MRT station to our development with a sheltered walkway and enhance the connectivity to other parts of town. We also improve the tra c flow to improve accessibility impacted by our development, where we expand the ingress and egress to the area from 2 lanes to 3 lanes, and put in place a tra c control disbursement plan in case of emergency during heavy congestion. We also worked with local authorities in providing an underpass under Persiaran Surian to alleviate the current tra c congestion. This underpass will diverge tra c that is heading further out, thus separating other road users from mall visitors who are queuing to enter the mall. For investors alike, the development has provided a good rental yield of 5% and appreciation with high occupancy, and our Tropicana Gardens mall has received a good visitors footfall of about 480,000 per month. 127 TROPICANA SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
